is it possible to modify the code and make it compatible with raspberry pi pico w. And probably add pio (programmable input output) #4162

so i recently got my hands on raspberry pi pico. and used its pio function to manipulate the led behaviour without stressing the processor too much. is it possible to modify the code to be compatible with a raspberry pi pico?

short answer: No. long answer: maybe, if you have a few people with a few hundred hours of time.

if you look at the code it seems like platform io code. also the pico w core is on platform io. ig with some modifications it should work with platform io

i mean the developers might have spent hours on the original code. is it possible to spend a few more to add rpipicow support. its way more efficient and faster because of pio

try thousands of hours. and no.

As all other maintainers already explained, there are not plans to port WLED to anything not based on espressif controllers. Actually porting to rp pico would be a complete rewrite.

We have RMT and parallel I2S driving on esp32. This is already efficient (up to 14 outputs in parallel) and fast (ws2812 runs at 800000kbit, the NeoPixelBus driver can deliver leds at full speed).

If you are looking for something more portable, then the WS2812FX library might be interesting to you.
